SLAMEX Participants • TA – Tasking Authority TACTRAGRULANT Tactical Training Group, Atlantic Dam Neck, VA • LAC – Launch Area CoordinatorUSS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) • FRUs – Firing Units USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81) – TTWCS - DROPPED OUT USS Hue City (CG-66) - TTWCS - DROPPED OUT USS San Jacinto (CG-56) - TTWCS USS Carney (DDG-64) - ATWCS USS Oscar Austin (DDG-79) - TTWCS USS Montpelier (SSN-765) - TTWCS
Whiteboard – A-N Report Black Text = Initial Report Red Text = Revised Report Blue Text = Ack’d by LAC
Whiteboard – A-N Report 15 minutes prior to first launch, LAC declares AREA HOT. 15 minutes after last missile feet dry, LAC declares AREA COLD.
SLAMEX Timeline - Wednesday • Send to FRU in preparation for SLAMEX: • Launch Sequence Plan (list of missions) • Letter of Instruction • Networks • Overlays, ACMSs, geographic boundaries • Altitude of missile for each FRU • Roles during SLAMEX • Setup Comms per Letter of Instruction • DAMA UHF voice circuits • Ensure TSN is working (execute TSN ping where applicable)
SLAMEX Timeline - Thursday • 1100 – Start of SLAMEX (0700 local time) • 1220 – Harry S. Truman (LAC) did not have GCCS-M configured properly (Problem since they must receive SCOs to validate) • Chat: • 1236 OSA reports “Cannot select 4-E missiles, VLS timeout.” • TA responds “Keep working on it, we need 4-Es in the air to test PLE capability” • 1241 SJA reports “VLS power problem with a half module, but no effect on tasking.” • 1250 OSA reports “ALL MISSILES INOP – reloading VLS SIM.” • 1320 – All times are in the A-N report • Original tasking was no-time tasking. Once all estimated times were in, TA computed real times and sent via ESP revision & Indigo deviation • 1331 – Revisions sent by TA
SLAMEX Timeline (cont’d) • Meanwhile, SCOs are coming in and being checked on the GCCS machine: • Does altitude match the LAC intention? • Properly routed to avoid threats, tracks, no-fly zones, AOUs, etc • Did FRU ask for Overflight Waivers as necessary? • Example of mistake: FRU requested OFW by name, instead of FOTC track # (problem because multiple tracks may have same name) • Many other grading points • Also grading LAC’s response to violations • 1341 – Area declared HOT • Missiles are launched • 1423 – TA sends message to LAC to assume control for all block IV missiles
SLAMEX Timeline (cont’d) • TA and LAC send PLE requests via chat. Examples include: • TDSN 1-07 Retarget • TDSN 1-08 Execute TLD 8-204 as tasked • TDSN 1-09 Flex MSN 11287 to Branch 3 • TDSN 1-10 Execute BUP TLD 3-190 as tasked • Chat format: [14:40:58] <TTGL_TA1> SJA TDSN 1-10 Execute BUP TLD 3-190 as tasked • TDSN: Tactical Deviation Serial Number • TLD: Target Line Designator
General Notes • Overall impression • Tailored to capabilities of strike teams/LAC
